6.2.1.11. interfaces

6.2.1.11.1. Introduction

The interfaces command of the show subgroup enables displaying the GCap network interfaces:

  • The management interfaces ( formerly gcp0 and gcp1)

  • The detection interfaces available physically mon0 to monx or virtually monvirt

This command can take the keyword delay as a parameter to display the grace period granted to the interfaces.
The following information is available with the show interfaces command:

  • Label: The label name of the interface, monX for monitoring interfaces, tunnel for IPSec connections, management for SSH connections or SSH and IPSec connections if the interface role is management-tunnel, clusterX for interfaces in cluster mode.

  • Name: The system name of the interface

  • Role: The role assigned to the interface, capture for monitoring interfaces, tunnel for IPSec connections, management for SSH connections, management-tunnel for SSH and IPSec connections, capture-cluster for monitoring interfaces in cluster mode, inactive for disable interfaces.

  • Capture capability: If the interface can capture traffic

  • MTU: The MTU of the interface

  • Physical Address`: the MAC address of the interface

  • Speed: the interface speed

  • Type: the type of cable/sfp connected to the physical port

  • Vendor ID: The Vendor ID of the network card

  • Device ID: The Device ID of the network card

  • PCI bus: PCI bus number used by the network card

6.2.1.11.3. Commands

show interfaces{ |delay|}


6.2.1.11.4. Example of displaying the available capture interfaces

  • Enter the following command.

    (gcap-cli) show interfaces
    
  • Validate.
    The system displays the available capture interfaces.

Note

All existing interfaces are displayed, even those making up an aggregation of interfaces.


6.2.1.11.5. Example of displaying the grace period given to start up the interfaces

  • Enter the following command.

(gcap-cli) show interfaces delay
  • Validate.
    The system displays the grace period for starting up the interfaces.

    NIC startup delay: 10 seconds
